It's official: Vince Vaughn has joined Colin Farrell in the cast for the second season of True Detective, keeping anyone hopeful for the recruitment of a female or PoC in suspense.
Still, it's not over yet, as there will in fact be four lead roles in the new series, and whispers are that at least one will be a woman. Small mercies, right?
The plot will revolve around a trio of officers and a career criminal; all set on untangling a complex conspiracy after a murder. Farrell's character is Ray Velcoro, a detective with unclear intentions and a distinct conflict of interests between the police and the mob; while Vaughn is due to play Frank Semyon, the aforementioned career criminal whose first foray into a legal enterprise is threatened when a business partner bites the dust.

Other names who have been rumoured for parts include Rachel McAdams and Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss, as well as Taylor Kitsch and Rosario Dawson.
So two down, two to go... Who are you hopeful to be cast?
